Log4OM does not retrieve LotW Station ID in Program Configuration
Posted: 15 Nov 2022, 16:40
Log4OM2 2.24.0.0 (Portable)
Windows 10 22H2 64-bit
Hello!
I am using LotW, but I do not have TQSL installed on the PC I'm using. That means I can't do automated LotW upload, but I am able to download LotW confirmations. For now, this is all I want, and this works perfectly. To do this, I have filled out only the following fields in Program Configuration/User Configuration/External Services/LOTW (Tab) : User, Password, Station ID. I then click Save and Apply. I can then use the QSL Manager to download LotW confirmations. It all works exactly like it should.
However, when I then go back into Program Configuration and change some other setting completely unrelated to LotW, I get the following error on Save and Apply: "Please complete required information". I click OK and I'm taken to the LOTW settings page described above, where the Station ID is now blank. I type it in again and click Save and Apply. Works fine -- until the next time I want to change a Program Configuration setting...
I'm not sure why it's not retrieving my Station ID. If this is a bug, please do not fix it by making it so I have to have a compete LotW with TSQL!
I'm perfectly happy with having Log4OM2 only download confirmations. I move Log4OM2 between computers (hence the portable) and I only have TSQL set up on a single PC -- which oddly enough I never use Log4OM2 on!
Exporting my new logs and handling the TSQL upload is plenty easy. Everything works great the way things are right now -- I just wish it would save the Station ID between Program Configuration changes...
Thank you very much for your time and attention! I really appreciate it. Log4OM2 is an incredible tool and I'm grateful to have it.
